Keuka Lake Outlet Trail — Attraction in Town of Milo

The Keuka Outlet trail is a beautiful and adventurous trail that connects the Keuka and Seneca lakes. We rented e-bikes since we had only 2 hours to complete the 14 miles (7 miles each way). It had just rained before we started and the trek was muddy and we were covered in mud by the end of the biking trip (wear boots and jackets if you are in a similar situation). But the trail barely had people because of this and we had a great time. The Seneca falls and Cascade falls are both gorgeous and have to be the prettiest spots. You continuously bike around the outlet stream and get to see many species of birds and flowers. Bug spray is helpful too as there are lots of mosquitoes. If you want to view the Seneca or Keuka lakes on either side, be prepared to ride for a little while longer after the trail ends. There are several portable restrooms available all through the trail. Well maintained trail and I would highly recommend to...

7-mile, easy hiking trail full of local history and waterfalls. Part of this trail is maintained by the Village of Penn Yan, the rest is maintained by the Friends of the Outlet. Within the village, the trail boasts 3 playgrounds and numerous bridges that allow hikers to cross the water. The trail is also well-maintained blacktop for easy walking. My favorite part is walking past Burkett Mills, the oldest, continuously operating buckwheat mill in the country. Once hikers pass the outskirts of the Village, the trail turns to stone and winds along the stream. This 6.5 mile portion displays the old mills, waterfalls, and nature. There are a few gentle hills but nothing extreme. The kids and I prefer to enjoy the Keuka Outlet Trail by foot during the winter, and with them biking and me running during the summer. Definitely bring a camera along for peaceful pictures and...

A beautiful Sunday morning 6/30/2019, Temp 72, mostly sunny with a slight breeze bike ride. I started in the Dresden NY trailhead. Senica Lake side. I wanted fresh legs making my way up the 270 ft elevation change to the Penn Yan NY entrance head at the Keuka Lake side. A great history lesson you must experience yourself. The ride was not difficult. But Made for a an enjoyable ride down. At 10 AM there was a lot of other folks walking and riding on this beautiful Sunday morning. The trail was clean so thanks to the many volunteers and fellow outdoor enthusiasts keeping our nature outdoors pristine for future...
